Looks like a hybrid to my untrained eyes. However, I'm not 100% sure, so wait until, Birger, Sid Guppy, Richard B or one of the other Syno experts says what they think. What does the label on the tank say that it is?

Thanks, I bought them from a shop in Hull (England). All they new was that they were Syno's. Do you know what was crossed to make the Hybrid 4?. Again thanks for the reply.

They are Hybrid sp4 or H sp1 - there is a lake syno in there somewhere - maybe multipunctata & perhaps euptera if it is H sp1 - the problem is no-one (at PC at least) is that close to Hybrid production & whilst intelligent guesses can be made, we can't say for certain unless we get a bit of specific intel.
